Greetings,
I underwent a microdiscectomy at L5/S1 in May of 2016, and had very good results. I’m back doing the activities I enjoy (e.g., tennis), and am now really careful about how I lift things.
I recently just welcomed a baby boy into my family (my first), but am concerned about the stress that lifting him could have on my back over the long term.
Could there be an increased risk of recurrent herniation due to lifting him? Is there a max weight over which it’s not recommended to EVER lift after undergoing a MD?
Thanks,
Eric
